Hello all,

I would like to announce that the NSXCA Board of Directors is now accepting bids for venues of NSXPO 2005. If you want a future NSXPO to be held close to your locale, now is the time to put together a proposal to make that happen.

NSXPO 2004 has already been decided, and the event is taking place in Corning, NY around Watkins Glen International Raceway from October 8-12, 2004. The deadline for the submission of bids for NSXPO2005 is February 28, 2004, and the venue will be decided upon by April 30, 2004. The board reserves the right to modify the deadlines if the situation warrants it.

For proper consideration, and to increase the chances of getting your proposal approved, here are some of the things that we are looking for, in no particular order:

1. A good overview of the event, a vision of how you would like it to happen.
2. Target date
3. A feasibility study of the area, which includes but is not
limited to:
a. Which track(s) are you looking into renting?
b. What are your chances of actually getting the track rented on your targeted dates?
c. A survey of different hotels for possible use as event HQ, including rates.
d. A description of the area where the event will be held, including the expected weather that time of the year, airline and airport accessibility, presence of good driving roads, etc.
4. A tentative schedule of events.
5. Proposed organization of event leadership, and planning committee. It is reasonable to expect that whoever submits the proposal, he/she/they will take an active role in the planning of this event, and are committed into making this happen.

There are two ways you can submit your proposals. The first is via email, by sending it as an MS WORD document attachment to the NSXCA Board at: [email protected] or via postal mail to:

NSXCA
PO Box A3416
Chicago, IL 60690-3416

If you are sending your proposal via postal mail, it is appreciated if you can submit 10 copies, for distribution to the various board members.

Thank you for your attention, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Best regards,

Wei-Shen Chin
President, NSXCA
On behalf of the Board
 
As I am in a position of absolutely no influence whatsoever, who would spearhead an effort to bring NSXPO 2005 to Texas?

Actually, you are wrong about not being in a position of influence. An NSXPO event coordinator does not have to be a voted person. Gather up a core team of five or six people and go for it. All it takes is motivation to take charge of the situation.

Seeing how we had NSXPO 2002 in Texas, despite NSXPO being held in California twice before the East Coast even had their first NSXPO, I find it hard to envision The Board granting it to us again. I could be wrong. Of course, there needs to be a proposed venue to begin with.
 
I vote TX since its near the center of the US.

It is not a matter of public voting.....see my above post.

Send me a PM if you want more details.
